Tried to "zmtlsctl redirect" but connection refused; Zimbra not listening on port 80

Hi all- we've got Zimbra 8.0.0 64 FOSS edition on Ubuntu 12.04.1 x64. Just wondering if anyone has seen this problem before? Zimbra is working fine via SSL on port 443. I also want to set up the redirect from port 80, so users won't have to type the https.

I dutifully executed these commands from the zimbra user:

Code:

zmtlsctl redirect
zmcontrol stop
zmcontrol start

But the redirect does not work; connections to port 80 are refused. Looking at netstat, I see that no one is listening on port 80:

During initial configuration, in the zimbra-proxy section I had chosen "Enable HTTP[S] Proxy". (I had misinterpreted it, and thought that option was necessary in order for the SSL version of IMAP and POP to be enabled.)

I just re-installed without enabling the HTTP Proxy, and now all is well.
